Packing lunch

It's finally getting warm here in Massachusetts, and I'm using free
parks, playgrounds, ponds, etc. to entertain my 2 1/2- year-old. I
always pack a lunch for both of us in the cooler, but need some fresh
ideas to avert boredom. I'm trying to lose weight, and I don't like her
to have

Maybe Tuna and crackers? I will do this with my son we share a can of tuna and add Ritz crackers with them he loves it. Maybe add some fruit or veggies like celery, carrots, apples. Just cut them up the night before and keep them in a container to throw in the cooler. Oh and we love pickles too, I throw a couple in a ziploc when we take lunches.

to have too much sugar, so even though PB&J sandwiches are easy, I need
an alternative. She also gets impatient waiting in the morning while
mommy packs lunch, so things that go together quickly would be a bonus.
We don't have any other special dietary needs, although the only fish I
can stand is tuna. Any suggestions?

<font size="2" color="teal" face="Comic Sans MS">11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:teal;">Try a salad for
you. Pack it in a Tupperware like container the night before (after she is in
bed). Put the dressing in a small container you place inside the salad
container – so the salad won’t get soggy. I add some feta cheese
or finely shredded parmesan to my salads, then you can either toast some sliced
almonds and add those, or in a snack baggie, place some sugared pecans (the sugar
comes off them if you put them on the salad). They are real easy to make from
scratch – just Google the recipe for them. You can always get a 6 oz salmon
filet and cook that in the same salad dressing you will use for the salad (the
night before). Put that in a separate container – then place on your
salad before you eat it. Oh, from Target you can get the packages of dried
fruit. I also add dried cranberries, cherries or blueberries to my salads.
I generally don’t add the meat. It is enough for me.

you can also do your DD’s PB&J the night before. Spread (thinly)
both sides of the bread with PB and then put the jelly thickly on 1 slice of
the bread. The PB stops the jelly from soaking through the brad.

You can also do veggie sticks, chicken drumsticks, slices of ham, wraps, crackers, there are litterly lots of options to chose from, and for dressing I always save those packages of condiment like dressing, ketchup and what not that are handed out at the fastfood restaurants - or if you buy ready prep salad at the deli in your local grocery store - small packs of dressings comes with for free...I always grab extra of those and keep for lunch bags etc..they are awesome.
